Tell me about it. I had so much into my runner when the frame decided to show its worth. I let it go and waited close to 6 mo. for the truck that had a good frame and little rust. It payed off though I got a solid platform and at a real good price. When I'm done I should be able to sell it for what all I've put into it and purchase price so I feel it was a good deal.

My advice is don't make any rash moves, keep what you have and pull it appart in your spare time. Wait for a good platform to come along at a good price and scoop it up. Heck you could get in touch with someone is AZ that can find one for you for a real good deal. being in the US that would be a no brainer.

i'm willing to help out if you want stuff from out here. i know were there is a good bed, that i can prolly get for free. lemme know. you would have to ship it back there, though, cuz i'm not comming back east until march

wow, started nosing around Auto Trader for AZ trucks. I think I'll have to go take a look at this one.

'85 Straight Axle truck

Or this Turbo <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
'86 Turbo

Those are unbelievable deals. Those trucks would go for like 5 times that much here. And yes I'm serious.

rims? boggers?

ill sell the boggers i think im gunna keep the rims though. 600 for the boggers.

Well heres my plan. Im going to get anouther truck i think i mighta found one for 550. Depending on how decient the frame is. its a reg cab shortbed though. I kinda want an extra cab. but this is what im gunna do

3 link coilover front
4 link rear
hydro assist steering
38s
duel tcase (when i can afford it)
same axles i have
3.4 motor when i can afford it.
caged
etc etc

Anyone who finds me a sweet deal on a mint frame, i offer my fabrication services to at cost of materials.

This is a perfict platform. Now find an extended cab that you can put on that frame then front bob the bed and away you go. That would be my ultimate.

Wow!!! I just saw the pics <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

Sorry to hear - not sure if your still looking, but I have an 85 runner (SFA, EFI - currently not running) frame is good, body has rust, maybe we can work something out.... if your interested

Sorry again bout your rig <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

Appreciate the offer but I dont need a solid axle rig. I have all the parts i need for the SA conversion. Besides i wanna do a customized link suspension so.... =)

Thanks anyhow =) if i had the money id buy it anyways just to have one.
